Dear Friends---especially those living outside the continental USA----- I was concerned that often our "overseas" (that is non-USA) members may not have access so easily to PD publications and resources for information. Thus, I inquired of the National PD Foundation (Miami, Florida) whether their excellent pubs might be available to folks outside the USA and what the costs would be. Today I received the following response: >Hello: >Let's try it on the honor system. >We will send the literature along with an invoice for the cost of >shipping the package. The information as always is free. >Please have these requests marked somewhere (Attention: M. Alicea/Care) >NPF I would encourage listmembers to take advantage of this excellent resource. I expect that pubs can be ordered by e-mail, so that not even a long-distance phone call is required. The e-mail address is : NPF Mailbox: <[log in to unmask]> Don't forget to say "Attention: M. Alicea/Care" For your information, a few of the topics covered by their pubs are: "Patient Perspectives on Parkinsons" by Sid & Donna Dorros, "Practical Pointers for Parkinsonians", "Nutrition Matters" (abridged from Kathrynne Holden's book), "Fitness Counts"(exercises), "The Parkinson Handbook--a Guide for Patients & Families", "Speaking Out"-( on speech & swallowing ) If you are interested in a particular subject, include that in your e-mail message and ask if they have something about it. If some members try this, I would appreciate feedback as to how it worked, and whether it was helpful!
